LIVED

These days it's fashionable to blame the ill's of the world on America

No one - it seems - wants to ally themselves to a 'superpower' which has given and continues to give so much to the entire world.

I believe there's not a country around the globe which if it reviewed it's own domestic or foreign policies could NOT find itself wanting in some shape or form.

Life - as we all know - is full of contradictions !

When I visited Montana in May - my fifth journey there in the last 15 years - I sensed the pioneer spirit still alive and kicking and with great good optimism too! Everyone was kind, welcoming and hospitable.

So imagine my surprise and delight when these number plates arrived in the post at Christmas! They will be attached to my Harley in the coming few days.

Have a happy Hogmany wherever you are!
